journalism history,  Roberta Applegate

History & Social Media

I recently wrote a newsletter article for Clio – the publication of the History Division of AEJMC. I wrote about the need for mass communication educators to use social media. I made the reference to Twitter and Western Union telegrams – both use short forms of writing.

Roberta was a groundbreaking women’s page journalist in Detroit and Miami in the 1950s.
